pendleton wound up having a good year for the braves, leading the national league in hits, total bases and batting average en route to winning the mvp award over a probably more deserving barry bonds. pendleton also reached the world series for the third time in his career in 1991 (he was a member of the cardinals' losing teams in 1985 and 1987). pendleton wound up in a total of 5 fall classics, but failed to win a ring. he left the braves for the marlins prior to their triumph over the indians, and then returned to atlanta in time for their 1996 loss to the yankees.
